Good! That moved me quite closer to the target! Thanks, Travis, I
guess I should be coming to the next nomikai then...

 $ file tools/fstools/fls
tools/fstools/fls: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1
(GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.6.16, not stripped

I'll try to run it on few obscure systems for test.

The process failed later apparently, but that is because I didn't have
static versions of the required libs (cppunit, zlib, etc). Working on
that now...

export USE=static-libs;  eix -IC app-forensics --only-names |xargs
emerge -Dtuv --newuse
(it will probably fail at some point, but this doesn't matter, rinse, repeat)

Kalin.
